Early Month Missive

What the heck have I been doing for the last few weeks? Good question. I wish I knew ;-). Seriously though, I have been working on a new product for Second Life.I was watching a Google Video of the founder of Second Life. One of the things he demonstrated was a product call Starax's Wand. This thing was incredible and sold for around 30000 L$ (around $100 real dollars). Everyone I knew was complaining about how they could not afford one of these wonderful wands for themselves.I made the mistake of telling one of my in-game friends that I was thinking about writing something similiar. They immediately gave me 10000 L$ (Around $33 real dollars) and said that they would take two of them. This started me on a quest to come up with a list of features and then start creating them. That was 17 days and 34 effects ago. I hope to come up with 6 - 16 more of these and release my "Power Staff" for around 2000 L$ (around $6.50). It won't be Starax but it will be good and cheap (by comparison).Other than that, I found a way to play Ultima Online for free. Go to http://http://www.runuo.com/ for details. That has been fun and FREE!!! Here's hoping you have a/several good week/weeks until I write again.

About Me

I graduated from Wright State University in 1996. Then I took my first job at an undisclosed company. Inspired by the pain of managing blocked email I wrote Guinterface (a utility for managing email blocked by Guinevere and GWAVA). Firmly on the side of good (ha, ha) I struck out to make my way in the world. Then I realized that managing the PCs on my network was a royal pain in the butt and that seemed to call for another application ... and Tasktastic was born.
In other words the businesses and commercial successes in my life were complete accidents and other existential cruft ...
